Quite why you chose to comment on this having given me reason to apologise for assuming you would - surprises me some, not much however.
Why do you seem to accept that what he says makes sense, albeit call them platitudes and then make silly comments like this. You completely miss the point that Conservatives are not the Nanny State, not Top Down and from this you seem to believe not responsible or caring. That is nonsense, of course they care. Do families care for themselves anymore, do they take any responsibility for their children or their parents and grandparents. Does it really have to be the state that does everything. Surely, you can understand that there is not an endless supply of money, or resource, come to that to provide for such a world. Fully accept that there are some than can't possibly cope for themselves but there are many others for which that is simply not the case or at least it wouldn't have been so but for the so called rights to have such support from the state. Where is the responsibility.
No, the state cannot do everything and neither should we, or you, expect it to. If, you're so smart, could you provide for all these people, even if you took the wealth form the so-called rich-cats?
Lets put it this way it would be difficult not to do a better job than you seem to regard as a "fine effort".
The rest is quite frankly much the same nonsense that your non hero spouts, a defence of the very people who are actually exploiting all and sundry with a pretence of caring for those at the bottom.
The notion that Torys are not "Top Down" in their thinking is a complete fabrication, from an outfit that operated like a branch of the Mafia.
There isn't an endless supply of Money eh? so while there are scandals over the huge salaries the likes of Rees Mogg extract from their business and have the sheer brass to claim it isn't enough.
"The same colleague also questions whether Rees-Mogg really is the courtly, self-effacing gent he always appears to be. ‘I saw him accost a former manager to complain his seven-figure bonus wasn’t sufficient — in the line-up at his own wedding,’ he says."
Where is "The responsibility" in that?
He demands more for himself and extols the virtue of Food Banks,while all the time more money is being borrowed exceeding many times the amount that the second team "New Labour" did.
Sorry but like Rees Mogg, your words are Hollow and actions taken by this Government had been so incompetent they have brought us to this sorry state of facing the future in the fashion of being armed with a Feather Duster facing an invasion of the Red Army.
Your comment "The state "can't do everything" is hilarious?, perhaps it can't, but this lot haven't even done ANYTHING right, have they?
They brought on a situation they didn't officially want, made a balls up of the referendum, and are now fighting for something that only a faction of the country and the Government itself wants, that no one can prove is going to be anything short of disastrous.
And you repeat the nonsense they put out from one of the worst of them as having biblical significance.
Not buying, try making sense.
